According to the CDC:
"In the 20 states with a universal helmet law, 739 (12%) fatally injured motorcyclists were not wearing a helmet,.."
That means that 88% of those that died in a motorcycle accident that were wearing helmets would have died regardless of wearing or not wearing a helmet.
On the other hand, other than racing fatalities, almost 100% of all automobile fatalities were were not wearing helmets.
I do not endorse the idea of NOT wearing a helmet. I am against mandating the wearing of a helmet.
Don't give me that garbage about how much it costs the taxpayer when someone is injured needlessly. Complain about how many billions every year we waste of the taxpayer money by giving it to other countries, including our enemies.
